Really ?

I’m renting a Kia Sportage PHEV and touring Ireland with it.
This car needs a lobotomy to be driven. Lane keeping assist that fights you for control, beeps at you every which way if someone is too close front back or side which they always are on the roads over here. Have to disable it every time I start the car. Locks you in the car, screams at you if you take the key with you to get out and snap a picture, and is otherwise just miserable to live with in a digital way. Drives nice otherwise and gets good mileage. I’m have a full rant brewing for the integration of nice to have features with basic car functionality, but will save it for another day.
I hear you. we rented a car in Ireland (midsize SUV no less) and you are right, the proximity sensor is basically going off constantly as the rock walls are so close. Was fun the couple of time we came head on towards a 1) tractor and 2) Fuel truck!
